Precious Blood Roman Catholic Church
Scarborough, Ontario
Pre-Authorized Giving Plan
WHAT IS THE PRE-AUTHORIZED GIVING PLAN?
The Archdiocese of Toronto has established a Pre-Authorized Giving Plan to assist you in your support of the work of Precious Blood Parish through your regular parish offerings (this does not include special collections).
The work of our parish is made possible through the giving hearts of our parishioners. In response to changing lifestyles and demands on time and energy, the Archdiocese of Toronto seeks, through Pre-Authorized giving, to assist you in your giving.
WHO LOOKS AFTER THE PLAN?
The Development Office of the Archdiocese of Toronto administers the Pre-Authorized Giving Plan for the parish. Please note that Precious Blood parish office will issue tax receipts for all gifts.
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
Advantages for the donor:
- Convenience. Your offering is received automatically every month.
- Continual support of your parish when you are away.
Advantages for the Parish:
- Allows the parish to plan better through regular and dependable flow of contributions.

How to Determine Your Monthly Contribution
For example, if you usually contribute $20.00/week, to maintain the same level of giving, you would donate $87.00 per month, at $30.00/week it would be $130.00 per month, and at $10.00/week, it’s $43.00 per month.
The odd amounts are because there are not exactly four weeks in each month, so it is necessary to multiply your weekly amount by 4.33 to arrive at your usual monthly offering.
WHY DIRECT DEBIT?
We are implementing this Pre-Authorization Giving Plan at the request of several of our Parishioners who use it elsewhere and find it meets their needs and lifestyle. This plan is not for everyone, but we want to make it available to those who would use it.
We respect that giving is a very personal decision, but hope that the convenience and efficiency it brings will encourage the parishioners of Precious Blood Parish to support it. We look forward to your participation, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office.
Cancellation of P.A.G Agreement
